Hello,

I'm current looking into PR port-amd64/35532 which is about the lack of
RAIDframe support in NetBSD-amd64 4.0_BETA2 INSTALL media.

Fixing it should only require pulling up these two changes:

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2007/01/14/0031.html
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2007/01/17/0024.html

That does however cause an overflow of the bootfloppy:

===> build.sh command: ./build.sh -u -j 2 -U -O /home/tron/obj -m amd64 release

This does however not happen when I build NetBSD-current. I've checked
for difference between "src/sys/arch/amd64/conf/INSTALL" in both
branches but there none. Any ideas which change might be missing
in "netbsd-4"?

	Kind regards
